Law Blog rounds up the morning's legal news.
A new era of oversight: The Federal Communications Commission set aside two decades of laissez-faire policy to assert broad authority over the Internet, voting to regulate broadband providers as public utilities and overruling laws in two states that made it harder for cities to offer their own Web service. [WSJ]
Foiled by online posts: The alleged aspirations of the three Brooklyn suspects accused of conspiring to aid Islamic State began to take shape last August, when one of them threatened President Barack Obama on an online Uzbek-language message board, drawing the attention of the U.S. Secret Service. [WSJ]
